QtMoko is a Debian-based distribution for the Openmoko Freerunner phone. Phone and user interface are based on QT Extended, formerly known as Qtopia. Currently QtMoko is provided with two kernels - one vanilla andy-tracking with debugging stuff and one with stripped config. The first one is slow but stable. The second one is fast, but it can have problems with switching to QVGA (WSOD) and sometimes wifi does not work (Suspend/resume can fix it). You can decide which one you want to use. Just flash your favourite kernel (for jffs image) or change the symlink in /boot (for SD card image). There is a dirty hack for displaying undelivered SMS - you have to restart Qtopia. As for the changes - credits go to Jeroen for fixing bugs and Esteban for translations, thanks a lot! Changes from previous version:

New Applications

QGPSLog is a GPS logging GUI that uses FSO for GPS and power control. It's simple and never supposed to get a map. Main target was to do track logging (start,stop,split) and avoid supsend when logging. You can specify a minimum battery capacity needed to log, otherwise it will stop logging.

Podboy is a podcast aggregator/player written in Python/Elementary. Its interface aims to be easy and finger friendly. It uses Feedparser Python module for download/parsing of podcast feeds, Gstreamer for playing of episodes and SQLite for storing data. Changes are:

Add 3 new settings in a new section "Display": finger size, scaling factor and orientation.

Speed up startup (~3 seconds less).

View covers of podcasts in big size: just tap on cover in page "Player".

Most important and change making mails on the mailing lists, blogs etc.. Coolest hacks, screenshots, themes etc..

Golden Delicious Computers GmbH&Co. KG have done another upgrade and are now the first to sell the new variant GTA02A7+. The difference to the A7 is that the #1024 rework ("recamping bug") has already been applied. Therefore the A7+ device now has a much longer standby time in the case that the Calypso GSM modem goes to sleep mode. The company still offers the rework of #1024 bug.
